Book train tickets effortlessly
As part of the Centre for Railway Information Systems’s series of Indian Railway Mobile Applications, IRCTC Rail Connect - for RAIL SAARTHI is the designated one for booking tickets to anywhere in India. Simply put, this free-to-use app provides an online service that allows users to buy, reserve, or cancel train tickets.
New users of IRCTC Rail Connect can register and create accounts directly and seamlessly through the travel and navigation app itself. However, it must be downloaded and installed along with the main RAIL SAARTHI - INDIAN RAILWAYS app, or else its full suite of features would not be maximized.
An essential for Indian train travel
As mentioned, IRCTC Rail Connect is a handy, one-stop app whose primary purpose is to allow users to book train tickets. It supports Ladies, Tatkal, and Premium-Tatkal quota booking, as well. Thanks to its straightforward and user-friendly interface, looking for routes and making the necessary reservations are seamless processes. On it, you will be able to see boarding schedules and the availability of coaches based on dates.
Since its system is synced with the IRCTC’s NGeT website and mobile application, users will then be able to view and cancel any tickets booked through those official channels. The vice versa situation applies, as any reservations booked through the app can be viewed and canceled through the IRCTC website and mobile app, as well. As it’s integrated with the IRCTC mobile wallet technology, making payments is a hassle-free experience.
Besides that, the app is capable of catering to any boarding station change requests. The app’s security measures are commendable, too, with the user only having to input a self-assigned PIN at each login instead of typing in their full username and password. However, its main drawbacks are a few unregistered boarding stations and its tendency to not work as intended when it’s newly updated.
Handy for any traveler by train
Book any train ticket to anywhere in India with ease with the IRCTC Rail Connect - for RAIL SAARTHI app. It is extremely easy to use and puts users’ convenience first, thanks to the neat and straightforward interface and integration with the IRCTC’s e-wallet, website, and other mobile apps. Viewing train schedules, making reservations, changing boarding stations, and even canceling tickets are all possible through this handy app.
